Toilet Training/Potties in General Reviews

Having been through toilet training twice now, I have learnt a thing or two, the first being that though "they" may say a child will be ready to get rid of nappies somewhere between 18 months to 3 years old, things aren't necessarily so simple. If you are reading this because your child has turned two, or indeed three and is showing ...  Read the complete review

My little girl is 2 years old.She point blank hates doing a poop in her nappy so that one half of the potty training sorted to start with and she has been like this for the last 9 months or so. Now all we need is to master the doing a wee wee on her potty or the toilet aswell. So far we have a toilet seat for the toilet upstairs and ...  Read the complete review

One of the many things I dreaded when I found out I was pregnant with my first child was the potty training. I had heard so many people say how awful it is, how hard it is if they are boys and the thought of running around all day cleaning wee (and other such) of carpets was enough to make me want to cry! My son was 2yrs and 8months ...  Read the complete review

I am just in the process of potty training my little man and have so far found this site very useful. I have heard many horror stories about the dreaded potty training stage so I decided to read a number of reviews written here before starting in hope that I could prepare myself the best I could and in turn I hoped that this would make the ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is 2 and a half. I started potty training her about a month ago. I tried before this when she turned 2 but she simply wasnt interested and would cry when she sat on it. The best peice of advice I can give is not to pressure them and let them decide when they are ready. After a couple of freinds had recommended a ...  Read the complete review

I tried my Daughter potty training about two months before her 2nd birthday as she seemed to understand things well and could tell me when she needed the toilet. We went nappiless and I left her without any bottoms on. I waited for a week when we wasn't doing anything and had a couple of pottys around the house. She had lots of accidents and was ...  Read the complete review

Well, I have had two different experiences with this..... one being my son ...who took a lot of patience and my daughter who took to it like a duck to water!!! I think every child is different and i think as a mum or dad you know your child best and will probally spot the signals of your child being ready to be potty trained quite ...  Read the complete review

Potty training itself is easy if you wait for your child to show signs he/she is ready before you try. All children develop at different rates and don't worry too much if it seems your child is late developing in this way. My daughter was completely dry at 3 but my son was 5 and I only just got him dry before he started full time ...  Read the complete review

Toilet Training/Potties in general After having a disasterous time toilet training my first child (and I mean disasterous) I decided to be a bit more organised when my second child started to show signs of being ready. I did some research on the Internet to find out if there were any miracle guides to toilet training or any ...  Read the complete review

There are so many experiences parents go through when trying to wean their children out of nappies and onto the toilet. One of my children took great delight in weeing on the floor, you know, during those times when you let them run around the house with nothing over their nether regions! My daughter even did a number two on the bathroom ...  Read the complete review

I've got two daughters, one aged 10 the other aged 3. My first, well, she was something else - by the age of twelve months she was dry. Yep, bone dry, day and night! One day shortly after her first birthday she just announced: "I don't want to wear my nappy". I had been prepared to fork out for nappies for at ...  Read the complete review

Potty training does not have to as stressful as people might tell you. As long as you think it is the right time to start you just have to have patience and perserverance. Don't start to potty train just because your friend's baby can use the potty or your mum has told you they should be using the potty by now. Every ...  Read the complete review

Potty Training can be one of the most stressful times of your life, if you let it. It can become a power struggle and will if you don't realize that each and every child comes to that point in their lives at their own pace. It can be frustrating if you listen to the other parents bragging about when their child left the diapers behind. Close ...  Read the complete review

i beleive a child will use their potty when they are ready. I came to this conclusion after training my own two children and listening to other mums. My first child (a boy)i found really easy he took to the potty like a duck to water clean in the day by 18 months and at night by 20 months.He did not need much encouragement except for a few ...  Read the complete review

I don’t mean to offend anyone with my title, but I feel fully qualified to use it since I am right up there in the Top Ten Fools. At least when it comes to toilet training anyway! So why am I here then? Well to resort to more clichés, experience is a great teacher and hindsight is 20/20. And having made so many mistakes with my ...  Read the complete review

I have a two year old daughter and i was really beginning to worry about the fact that she would not use the potty to go to the toilet,but then without any provocation she started to ask for the toilet. I started by putting her on the potty but this was not what she wanted she started to say she wanted the big toilet,so up we went and i ...  Read the complete review

When you think your child is ready to be toilet trained, go slowly. Get he/she used to the idea of using a potty. When I first tried training my son, he would scream every time he saw a potty. This lasted for a couple of months. I kept telling him what it was used for. Then he got the hang of it (well sort of) I would let him sit on it with his ...  Read the complete review

I have 2 boys - now aged 7 and 3. Both were hopeless when it came to potty training. First time round I ended up feeling like a complete failure when by the age of 3 my son was still in nappies! I tried all sorts - potties - toilet seats - pull ups - no nappies etc etc etc - all to no avail. My sister (supposedly) potty ...  Read the complete review

OH MY GOD!!!!! why do people thinks that as soon as a family member or friend have a baby it automatically gives them the right to pass comment on every litlle thing you do. People keep their noses out if you start having a domestic the you better half or if you decide that you love wearing black tights with white shoes. Most polite ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever noticed how when you've got kids, it doesn't matter how proud and pleased you are with your child, someone elses always seems to be doing better, well at least according to their parent. Their baby sat unsupported before yours did, crawled before yours did, walked before yours did, talked, drank from a beaker, slept through ...  Read the complete review
